A housewife, Muniratu Adeleye, has urged a Customary Court sitting in Ake, Abeokuta, Ogun State, to order her estranged husband, Alani Adeleye, to move his belongings out of her house and never return to the property.
Muniratu, who dragged her husband before the court, prayed the court to direct the police to stop her husband from returning to her house after he must have moved out.
She argued that her husband had lost the right to live under the same roof with her, especially a property belonging to her, owing to his habit of frequent trouble making, adding that he had denied her of rest of mind as he usually engaged her in frequent fighting.
She further said that apart from her husband’s failure to care for her and their children, he was always threatening her life.
The housewife also accused her husband, a commercial bus driver, of stubbornness, claiming that he had refused to appear in court for the third time, despite being served summons by the court.
Muniratu, who prayed the court to dissolve their 25-year-old marriage, said that her husband was fond of beating her at the slightest provocation.
She said, “My husband is too stubborn and is fond of beating me whenever he is angry. I want the court to give me divorce and ask him to pack out of the house that I built with my personal resources. I even want the court to direct the police not to allow him to come back into the house after he has packed out.
“He does not give me rest of mind, and we are always fighting. He does not care for me and the children I have for him and he’s always threatening my life. He beat me whenever he is angry. I am tired of the marriage and I want to divorce him.”
The President of the court, Chief Akande. O.O, granted the housewife’s prayers and ordered her husband to move out of his wife’s property.
The court, therefore, dissolved the marriage between the couple and told the wife to report her husband to a nearby police station, anytime he tried to return to her house.
